In a tiny, family-run factory in East L.A., fabric flies and tempers flare when Ana, fresh out of high school, rebels against the status quo with dreams of becoming a writer.

"...All's well as the overlock machine is figured out and the hundred dress quota is fulfilled with Estela then dismissing with extreme prejudice the demanding client for whom the fancy dresses have been made. Director Mary Jo Duprey creates stage pictures in an odd split focus from time to time, but over all the play... such as it is...works fine. A feel good story from the barrio, Tanya Orellana's realistic set announces in big letters No Chisme!!! reminding us that gossip is verbotten!"Read Full Review
